  1. Wow lots happen. Denika- I am so sorry about the tough time you've been through. I hope your Dad is feeling better. And you dog oh I know how that hurts. Praise God the little boy is ok. How are you? Fill time..woweee...I think I'll be holding off for a while. I haven't gone on the scale in a while and I'm going to office on Monday so I'll know then. I'll also have my weight and measurements done at curves that morning so I really know whats happening. Today is the first day I have done no exerising. I do think I'm going to take Lucy for a walk now I'm trying to show her who is the pack leader. She still thinks she's in charge. She is still such a cutie!!!
  2. Hi everybody, Betty-I'm s sorry about what the Dr said and the expense! As Darcy said that really does suck! Eileen-I'm glad your feeling comfort about your niece I have been praying that for all of you. I did terrible with food today had to many bites of a piece of chocolate cake! and a slice of pizza. Kat-you and DH need to be careful!!! Everyone else hi. Sorry I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time for personals. Catching up is so hard to do on here. I read everything and then I forget who says what! I went to the PT yesterday and I have some exercises to do and then go back and see him next week. He was VERY PLEASANT to LOOK AT!!! The magazine is exploding! I'm so excited. I don't know if I ever told you guys that I have been with the magazine since before it was in print. We were worried about it last qtr, but now things are hopping which means I'm out on the road and having a blast. I think I'm going to take the lunny pup out for a walk and show her who's the pack leader and then hit the sack. I'll be better with personals tomorrow, promise. Night night
  3. Hi-Yes car accident. This DUDE was making a U turn I was minding my own business and all of a sudden smash! My right fender is a mess along with the frame and some other stuff! I guess I'll find out more about that tomorrow. Garry thinks it may be totaled because I was going aroune 45-50. I'm ok just a real sore neck. I have fluid in my ear from it which is really wierd and hurting! But this wonderful man was there and he was my witness because he saw everything I really didn't see a thing till abfter I hit him. The first thing the man did after he saw I was ok asked if he could pray with me!!! WOW an ANGLE appearing to help me and PRAY with me. He was awesome and stayed until the police came. He told them what he saw and then left. What a nice guy. His daughter owns 2 Subways around here I'm going to get a card and give it to her to give to him. We have a small group of singers that get up every week and lead our 9:30 worship. I got to sing with them this morning and I had a BLAST! It was so much fun. I really enjoyed it and hope they will ask me to join them. Other than that everything else is the same around here. I might go to Pleasant Grove Camp Meetin tonight. Thats always so much fun. I think I'm heading to the pool first to work out a bit though. Kim I will try to see if I can change my appointment to Tuesday so I can see you next week. Have a good day
  4. Aww congratulations and welcome to the club!!!
  5. Congrats! You look wonderful. You should be so proud of your self for losing so much and fitting into a 16. You look beautiful! Laugh a lot with each other it helps make the bad times easier. God Bless you both and your marrige
  6. I made a mistake by taking a lot of things to get altered. I spend almost $200 and I really only use 3 of the items. The stretchy travel fabric lasts a long long time and those are also the ones that I got taken in. They work real well. I have mostly just been buying tops. A black and blue pair of jeans. 1 nice black pants 1 black skirt. Your going to love this....it's so much fun and so wierd to get frustrated about things being to loose! good luck and welcome
  7. WOW Karen what a day! I'll be meeting with Courtney today at 1:30 then I have to go to Birkdale Village but before all this I have to go to Rock Hill for 2 appointments. I'm much sorer today fromt he accident, I guess thats to be expected. I did go take a mile something walk this morning. Have a good day.
  8. Donna-I'm so proud for you! You must be so excited. Cindy-Have a wonderful vacation. We will miss you! How long are you away for? I remember you leave tomorrow and your packed already...lol...I still haven't unpacked from 2 weeks ago..argh... Darcy-We were talking about hw sweet you are at our NC dinner the other night. Best of Me...Kathy brought you up. How great you are. I agree. Sherry-WOW that's awful about your sister! It is amazing how these things can happen. Eileen-Can't stop thinking about you and your niece what is her name? You can call me or PM if you want an ear. Times like this I wish I was in Jersey. (((HUGS))) Hi everyone else....Well I have a crazy day and I'm much sorer than yesterday. I have to go 45 minutes south of here then go an hour north of here so I will be all over the place. I most likely won't get home before 6 or 7. I don't usually have crazy days like this. The magazine seems to be picking up with really good strong names so I'm real excited about that. I didn't go to curves yesterday or today. I did walk this morning and I'm hoping to go to curves if I'm not to sore when I get home. If not I'll go to the pool and exercise for a half hour. I think the scale is moving, but not 100% sure. When I saw the doctor yesterday she said I was down 2 pounds in 3 weeks. I really only go with my curves scale and I'm not planning on going on that for 2 more weeks. I so hope I get into onderland on of these days soon!!!! Have a good day, stay safe. And as they used to say on Hill Street Blues...BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!
  9. Heres another one.
  10. Eileen-I'm crying for you. I'm so sorry. Your niece, you and the rest of your family have my prayers. Psalm 91 always comforts me when things aren't going well. I pray that you can personalize it to you feel his love around you your niece and the rest of your family. If you cry in front of the chit you cry. Maybe he will have some feelings for you. (((Hugs))) Hey Gang, Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I'm ok today. Sore, stiff and still kind of dizzy. I went to the Dr. and she is recommending I go to PT. So tomorrow I will call and set up an appointment. I understand more today about what happened than I did yesterday. The guy I hit hasn't contacted the insurance company. I wonder if he thinks it will go away if he doesn't return Allstates calls! I asked the insurance adjuster what would happen if they can't get a hold of him and she said they would go by what the police, witness and I said. Then she said clearly it is our customers fault so we will take care of everything for you. Ok so here is my dilemma. Help I need advice! Last August I got rear ended by a guy. He had Allstate insurance also. I had been seeing a chiropractor for almost 8 months. I went to the ER the day of the accident. (I'm never doing that again, that board is way to painful) anyway went to the chiropractor and started treatment for 6 weeks. She strongly encouraged me to get a lawyer. So I finally did. I'm glad I did because he took care of everything. He had a challenge with my medical insurance company in the end. He wanted to be sure that they were going to continue to cover me without a problem. He got that all done. So I called him this morning. I told him I am still seeing a chiropractor although I hadn't been in a few weeks. He recommended that I take another approach. He was concerned about the insurance of the vehicle being Allstate again since I now have a history with them! Part of me is thinking to just keep my mouth shut and not complain, but I'm afraid I will be sorry later. The other part of me is nervous about Dr's and insurance companies saying here she goes again with an attorney, and what if I really have a much more serious problem later. I wrote this before I read Eileen's post. This is nothing in comparison to what she is going through. I feel so bad. Love you guys.
  11. I thought we had one, but I can't find it! Melissa I'm sure this will be huge could you please shrink it. Sunsett (Dianne), Bondgirl (Angie), Dragonwillow (Melissa), Wavydady (Jill), Angie's 3 adorable girls, The Best Me (Kathy), Amy, she a by-pass girl who doens't stop by here. July 2006 get together.
  12. It was fun! do we have a picture thread? I think we do. I'll download the picture and Melissa you can shrink it please. I guess Amy and I left before the strip show...lol... It was nice seeing everyone. We sure did miss those that weren't there. Angie those girls of yours are adorable! Oh what cuties and great huggers! Thanks for bringing them. Looks like I won't be able to make the pool party at the moment. URGH I met Loretta for lunch today. She's falling out of her shirt! I told her it's time to put that shirt away. Way to big. We had a nice lunch and talked about ya'll......
  13. i WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT Looks like we have company coming in from OFT. I will let you know if something changes.
  14. Hey-God sent me an Angle today! I was driving to uptown Charlotte for an appointment and a guy cut out in front of me and I hit him. I had no clue what happened. I sat in the middle of the road in shock for a few minutes. This man waited on the side of the road for me. I finially went to the side of the rd and he asked me if I was ok. I was hestericale and said I had no ida what happened. He said I'm your witness I saw everything it was not your fault. He than asked me if I would mind if he prayed for me!!! He stayed with me until the police came. Apparently this guy just pulled out in front of me to make a U turn. Another lady saw the whole thing and she also told him that she would be a witness but when he said he was staying with me she left. I have been crying on and off all afternoon. I'm sore as heck and seem to be getting sorer by the minute. We all thought my car was ok to drive home so everyone went on there way. When I drove a 1/4 of a mile I smelled burning rubber. Called the officer back and he had my car towed. DH came and got me and we drive to the airport to steal DH's car. He always parks int he same spot so it worked out perfect! I swung by the chiropractors office and I was in my cute skirt and didn't want to have him do anything till I changed. He said to ice myself and come see him tomorrow or the next day. This stinks with all my back trouble, I think I may have to get an attorney, again because of prexcisting condition. Anyway my GF who had the bypass a week after my second band is being sweet enough to drive me to our meeting tonight so I can still meet our girls. This man was truly a blessing! I kept thinking he was going to disappear because he must be an Angle. I cried harder when he asked me if he could pray! HOW COOL. I'm going to try to lay down a few minutes and rest before I go. Then I'm going to try not to get back on here tonight when I get home..lol..love you guys
  15. Kat-How cool to WIN! And how special to give it away! I hope the Dr gives your DD a good report today and makes you feel good about DH surgeon. Enjoy the ride! Cindy-NO that is exactly what I wanted to hear! That is how I'm thinking lately. A friend of mine figures as long as she's losing something every visit she will not get another fill. I wish I could say I'm losing a pound a week. I think the last time I was at the office that what they said I was averaging a pound a week. I sure don't see that. I think what I'm going to do is wait and go to my regular appointment on the 24th and then schedule a fill depending on the WL. Betty-GL with finding a closer D I hate and the insurance! Urgh I hate when they change! I think that is my biggest fear if DH leaves his company! Good morning everyone else. I'm off to curves and then my run around day. Have a good day I'll check in tonight and tell you all about our dinner there will be 6 of us it looks like.
  16. Yes! And it still does at times. I have mentioned it to him before and he told me to take tylenol and if needed put the heating pad on. It's never been sore enough for me to get my lazy butt up to get the heating pad though..lol..feel better. I've skipped crunches on the real sore days. Wish you were coming tonight
  17. JerseyJan-WOW you are doing fantastic. How exciting to be down 90 pounds in that short of a time!!! I know what you mean about those 2 pounds they are staying with me for a while also. Have fun at work. Eileen-15 viles WTF is right! Cindy-Why have you waited so long for another fill if you don't mind me asking? I am debating whether to have another or not. How many cc are you? Enjoy those blueberry pancakes!!!!and lobster, yummmmmmm Patty-Have fun with your hair. Let us see a picture pls Darcy-I'm so sorry your having a suckie time! It's not fair! Hopefully this new medication will work wonders for you. In my eyes you are a super success story! Donna-How is dh today and you? Ok I went to curves then to store to get my pudding ran home and went to the pool and worked out real hard in the pool for a half hour. Came home and had a stupid Ice cream sandwich 210 calories what a fool! But I think over all I did good with calories all day. DH called and he is not sounding to convinced that the company is going to go in the right direction. He says the president is clueless as to the problems. Isn't that encouraging! Tomorrow morning I'm up early and then out of her. Heading uptown for an appointment and then further North for another. Then meeting the Charlotte girls for dinner at 7:15. I'm exited I haven't seen them in ages. I do so much better when I'm out he road. I won't waste $ on food anymore so I bring my shakes and a packet of crackers or nuts, lots of Water and sometime some string cheese. Not sure if I'll be able to swing by before I go so have a good day and I'll let you know when the latest Charlotte girl picture is posted. Night night...........
  18. Cool! I'm snuggly fitting into 14's. I'd love to see them. My DH is fitting into my 18 and 16's so I won't be able to bring any of them. I'll check to see if I have bigger sizes. Thanks
  19. Hi All Had 8 vials of blood taken. Only 2 needles my veins were behaving. Got Clifford today so I am feeling crumby! I don't want to go to curves but I am making myself. I can't describe how much I don't want to go! But they are doing a competing thingy and I have to be the best on my team cause I can be. So I'm going to drag my butt there. All I really want to do is stay home and relax on the couch and have a chocolate pudding...but no my DS ate my last cup!! AHHH Well I'll check back later after curves..urgh..can't I skip today......STUPID CONTEST!
  20. Burning? Are you sure it's not just real sore? I'm 9 months out and sometimes it hurts for what I think is no reason. If it continues I would call the Dr tomorrow. Take some tylenol and put a heating pad or ice on it which ever makes it feel better for you. Good luck
  21. I'm so mad! I went to costco and brought an assortment of cheses in a tray. Gouda, cheddar, Swiss and Havarti. It was all sliced and nice. Well for some reason something went wrong and most of it is melted together. I can still separate the different types, but what do I do with it!!! Can you suggest any not to fattening recipes. Thanks
  22. Whats the coffee drinks I'm not up with all this cool stuff. Can't wait to see you guys on Tuesday. Jill I don't think we have ever met have we?
  23. Oh Karen.....BUMMER.....Whats up with the pool party? When where?
